Description
I have been unable to launch (or restart) either project: Seti@Home or Einstein@Home within the BOINC Manager (version 6.12.34) for Windows XP.
I keep getting the error message (notice): "couldn't write state file; check directory permissions". but have no idea how to proceed?
According to the boinccmd file (running from a DOS prompt) - the "state file" is "corrupt" - so I have tried to INSTALL "REPAIR" - which is supposed to resolve that issue and INSTALL "REMOVE", followed by complete RE-INSTALL to fix the problem. But the problem persists!
Please help!

Could you please post about this on the BOINC forums? That way we can (easier) determine if it requires a Trac ticket or not. Trac is for bugs, not so much for asking for help on how to do things.
With thanks.

This problem was due to corruption of the user's filesystem, and was fixed by creating a new data directory.
